Online MedEd Intern Bootcamp: Hybrid (Online+Live) Training for First Year Residents

Sponsor: New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation

Summary

This study is testing a web-based "Intern Boot Camp" from Online MedEd to see if it can make the first year of residency less stressful for new internal-medicine doctors at Harlem Hospital. Right after orientation, residents are randomly placed into one of two groups: Intervention group - gets six months of free access to the Bootcamp videos plus twice-a-week, one-hour review sessions led by senior residents the first 6 months of residency Control group - gets the hospital's usual training and will receive the Bootcamp training starting at 6-month of residency. The main thing the researchers want to know is: Does using the Boot Camp lower burnout-especially emotional exhaustion-compared with usual training? They will also look at the PHQ-9 depression survey and how confident residents feel about four everyday skills: mental health self-care, time management, oral presentation, and medical documentation. Surveys are completed at the start of residency and again six months later. Findings will show whether giving residents structured, on-demand preparation improves their well-being and confidence during the toughest part of their training.
